Safety and effectiveness of a new minimally invasive glaucoma surgery namely trabeculotome tunneling trabeculoplasty in primary open-angle glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study aimed to report the preliminary surgical outcomes of a new minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), namely trabeculotome tunneling trabeculoplasty (3T) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

Methods

This retrospective observational study with prospective follow-up included POAG patients who underwent 3T surgery at Chengdu First People's Hospital between December 2022 and June 2024. Postoperative follow-up was conducted at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. Evaluations included intraocular pressure (IOP), number of medications, surgical success rate, and postoperative complications.

Results

Baseline mean IOP was 23.06 ± 0.72 mmHg with a median of 3 (interquartile range, IQR: 2-3) medications. Postoperative IOP significantly dec
